No stops will be made except at the
points above mentioned, and in no in
stance can the time given to cities where
the stops are to be made be extended.
The fact that the journey is timed to
meet fixed engagements will prevent any
exceptions to this determination, but
through the day, in passing all places of
any considerable size, the train will be
run at a very slow rate of speed. All
reception committees have been re-
qucsted to meet the president at their
respective cities instead of en- route, MS
has been proposed in some instances.
This is to enable the party to get as much
rest and quiet as possible while travel
ing. At the suggestion of the president
much proposed speech-making at the
places to be visited has been abandoned,
and instead an important feature in the
program at each place will be carriage
rides about the cities Owe previously an
nounced routes, which will crafty his
desire to see the towns and their popula-
ton and enable all to see the president
without the discomforts and dangers at
tending crowded rooms and platforms.
Formal acceptances of the invitations
from these cities will now be made,
earlier notice having been impossible on
account of the uncertainty as to the
route and dates.
